There Will Come Soft Rains ~*Marge Tindal*~ Footsteps silent in the new-grown grasses bending softly under my feet I walk gingerly across the great divide between you and I Footprints left on the path I take that brings me closer to you Tenderly I surrender whatever vestige of pride I wore There will come soft rains springing the grasses to life again |

DarkAngel~ I thank you for letting me know you like it. Denise~ So pleased, as always, to know you read me. Avanti~ Thank you. The title came from something I read while perusing a web page on events of the US Civil War - it stuck in my head and thus the poem was born. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Marge... this is really a fine poem with so much emotion... my vote's in over here! I echo the words of those who've responded here.... (oh, except some of what balladeer said... i'm not really interested in having you in my back seat... LOL... but i'll give you a ride to 7-11 if you need one... hehe *wink*) Great writing, Marge! I'm so glad you submitted this! |

Doreen~ LOL ! 7-11 huh ? Well, Balladeer's 'back seat' has a little more appeal. Thank you for letting me know you like this. Mike~ Thanking you sincerely for your comments. Bet you can tell I kind of enjoy writing them, huh ? ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

ETHome~ This is one that has grown on me long after I originally penned it. One little phrase on a chance encounter through the web ... how lucky am I ? Thank you for your enjoyment of it and your accompanying thoughts. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
